The winemaker

The history of Domaine de Montgilet


Domaine de Montgilet lies in the commune of Juigné sur Loire, near the city of Angers, on the site of the famous battle between Crassus and Dumas in 52 BC. This is where the Loire is at its widest, 700 meters from bank to bank, and where the historic port for exporting Anjou wines was founded.

The Domaine de Montgilet vineyard was established in the 1880s. In the early 20th century, it was owned by Victor Lebreton, who died in 1997 at the age of 97. Shortly before, the estate had been taken over by his son, also named Victor. Today, his sons Victor (!) and Vincent manage Domaine de Montgilet.
